ACC-L Program
What is Grand Traverse Academy's ACC-L Program? ACC-L stands for Accelerated College Course Learning, a concept that allows GTA students to begin earning college credit - through a combination of college courses taught Northwestern Michigan College & GTA and online formats - as early as the 9th grade. Benefits include the following:
- Research suggests that high school students who complete even one college course are nearly 50 percent more likely to earn a college degree than those who do not [1].
- Students who demonstrate readiness for an accelerated pace and courses can earn college credits while fulfilling their high school graduation requirements.
- Students become familiar with the rigors and expectations of college courses in the supportive, nurturing environments of home and GTA.
- GTA High School students have the opportunity to complete their first year of college by the end of their senior year.
- The credits transfer, as a package, as general liberal arts requirements through a special arrangement between Northwestern Michigan College and many other Michigan colleges and universities.
- Grand Traverse Academy will pay for the college courses our students take through this program - the only expense to families is the purchase of textbooks, translating into literally thousands of dollars in savings
GTA freshmen and sophomores qualify for the ACC-L Program by earning exemplary grades and showing professional work habits during their previous two semesters of Secondary school, as well as completing an essay and achieving qualifying reading and writing scores on NMC's placement test.
For more information about Grand Traverse Academy's ACC-L Program, please contact Stephanie Patrzik, academic counselor, at email@example.com or (231) 932-6024.

The renovation of 45 W. Flint St. is in full swing. Crews working at the future home of Anita's Kitchen have revealed history on the brick walls after pulling off the siding.
Property owner and builder, Jack Kabliska, said that although not in the original plans, he wants to preserve the historical painting found under the siding. Painted on the brick is "Clean Laundry" and "Entrance."
Originally a residence, the building was built back in the 1870's (estimated) and has been upgraded many times. Known businesses previously located at 45 W. Flint St. were Foxy Lady Resale Shop and most recently, Celtic Cove Catholic Bookstore.
The Orion Historical Society is dedicated to the preservation of Orion's legacy and if anyone has any additional knowledge of the buildings history, please contact them at the Orion Township Public Library, 248-693-3000..

There�s a killer on the streets tonight.
Under cover of darkness I prowl. Past sleeping houses. Down darkened back alleys. Every sight, sound and smell telling me a story. Leading me closer. Showing me the way.
To my next victim.

This was fluffy, but fun. The obvious events were too straightforward to be taken straightforwardly so throughout it I was trying to guess what the twist would be. My guess was wrong, I thought that his victim was really a predator (a vamp or something) waiting to prey on him. Then all the hints about giving the prey a glimmer of hope and then turning it back on them could be referring to himself indirectly.
So points for a twist that I didn't predict.
And, hey look, my name in the feedback as saying "quite a lot". That gave me a chuckle.

End of Semester Showcase
The Interdisciplinary Studies Department holds an event at the end of every semester there is a Senior Seminar course. During this event, the participants of the course demonstrate their two big projects of the semester, a research article and applied project within their field of study. With this being said, I have the opportunity this semester to plan and execute the event for the Interdisciplinary Department. This is an opportunity for me to apply myself and my knowledge to a project that illustrates my drive to pursue an event management and planning career. Below you will find all the elements that go into an event from the beginning until the end!
Event Objective:
The end of the semester showcase aims to provide the audience with a better understanding of the achievements of the students enrolled in the Interdisciplinary Studies Senior Seminar course. The students will demonstrate such achievements as the understanding and implementation of interdisciplinarity, their extensive research article, as well as their applied project.
Event Purpose:
Following the objective, the purpose of this event is to really educate the attendees about the Interdisciplinary Studies students' wide variety of knowledge, skills and achievements. This event also aims to provide an entertaining environment for the students and their support systems to relax and have fun after a long, stressful semester.
Event Audience:
The primary audience of this event is the Interdisciplinary Studies Department, which includes the faculty and staff of the department, as well as the entirety of the students of the department.
The secondary audience of this event are the friends and family of the students within the Senior Seminar course. A lot of the students want to showcase their achievements that they worked so hard towards. Along with the students, the families and friends want to show their support and pride for their students, as well as learn more about what their students are passionate about.
The tertiary audience of this event is the campus and local community. This community would include professors all throughout campus that are interested in the success of the Interdisciplinary program, as well as any other faculty or staff that show interest, support, and/or pride in their students. The community may also include local community members that may also be interested in the program due to previous interactions or involvement.
Event Concept & Theme:
The event concept really lies within the idea that we are aiming to educate and entertain attendees. The event needs to provide an atmosphere both adapt to educating and entertaining. Since the baseline of the event is primarily educational (the student presentations of the research and projects), a themed event is a great way to incorporate entertainment into the event.
With that being said, after discussing the concept and theme with the department, an Alice in Wonderland theme for the event has been decided upon. This theme seemed to make sense for the Interdisciplinary Studies department since Alice took an unexpected adventure and was faced with many obstacles and decisions throughout her journey, eerily similar to the adventure Interdisciplinary students take. This theme will provide a fun atmosphere while still being representative of the educational aspect of the event.
Event Venue:
"The challenge is in adapting the setting to your vision, despite any obstacle that may come along." ~ Preston Bailey
One of the perks of planning an event for an academic department to have an event on campus is that there is no venue fee to hinder the budget. While our campus has gotten many different, new spaces throughout the past couple of years, it was decided that the event will be held in the same location as the many previous years. The venue on campus, named Frost Commons, has a very intimate and casual atmosphere. The maximum capacity of the venue is a total of 50 people, which only speaks to the intimacy of the space. Following the intimate atmosphere, the space has a variety of furniture that could be used, including rectangle and round dining tables, cushioned chairs, and various sized couches. This wide array of furniture would allow to have an intimate and casual feel, which will also lead to attendees feeling more relaxed. While the space is a very flexible space, a venue layout (below) would allow for quicker set up.
While this venue is ideal for the event, there are some challenges to the venue. There is a lack of close parking for the venue. There are lots close to the venue, but these lots are designated for staff/faculty, or for the church. Luckily, parking meters for street parking do not have to be paid after 5PM. Along with parking, there are also venue guidelines that are posted within the actual venue itself. These can be found here:
With all this being said, Frost Commons gives the Interdisciplinary event the consistency of having the same venue for every like event. This space does provide everything that this event needs, and does provide an atmosphere that aligns with the event purpose and concept.
Pre-Event Venue Images:
Entry & Kitchen Area:
Coat Room & Restroom Area:
Reception Area:
Presentation Area:
Venue Layout:
Event Budget:
Unfortunately, like most other aspects of the academic world, the budget for the event was not very substantial. There was an original budget of $400 given to me at the beginning of the planning process. While this may seem like a lot of money, $400 does not go as far as you would think. This budget was cut down as the semester went on due to unforeseen circumstances coming up. This has made me dig into my personal stash of event equipment to ensure that the space is transformed to the complete vision. As you can see in the chart below, food took up a majority of the finances for the event. I was able to order a couple minor decorations to use for the event. Event budget has been one of the biggest obstacles during my experience of doing events.
Event Budget Chart:
To catch the target audience's attention, I developed a flier to notify them of the event. I forewent
doing specific invitations to this event since the event is open invitation to the campus and local communities. With this being said, I took some elements from the T-shirt design (seen above, in Event Concept section) a fellow Interdisciplinary student, Ashley Hichborn, produced. This flier has been distributed to through Facebook and Twitter to mainly the Interdisciplinary Studies students, but also the greater campus community. Along with digital distribution, we put physical fliers up in the academic and student gathering areas. This method of marketing allows the students and professors who are interested in the department to have access to the information. The marketing campaign could have been bigger if the venue space would have allowed more people. This marketing campaign will be sure to reach our primary, secondary, and tertiary audiences.
Food & Beverage:
As illustrate in the budget, food for this event took up a total of 83% of the budget! Typically, either the food and beverage or the venue are the most expensive elements of an event. Since we did not have to worry about venue fees, it was a no-brainer that food was going to be my biggest cost.
What can 83% of an event budget get you in food and beverage? Take a look at the image below to see what we ordered for food through our campus supplier:
If you look at the order, you notice that there are only light refreshments ordered. The process behind this decision was an assessment of timing of the event, duration, purpose, and budget restrictions. As mentioned above, we had a very limited budget to work with, which definitely restricted what could be ordered for food and beverage. With that being said, we knew that the event started after a typical dinner time (6:30), so it can be assumed that attendees of the event would have already eaten a more substantial meal. While the event is scheduled to go until 9 PM, it has been proved in the past that the event usually wraps up before the end time, which means that we would not have to be subjected to provide food for the entirety of the duration of the event. Along with these other elements, the purpose of the event had to be assessed as well. The event was here to really educate and entertain attendees. This would include presentations and fun activities, food and beverage in this event is used to primarily ensure attendee satisfaction. With all of these assessments, the best course of providing food and beverage was determined to be light refreshments.
Since the food and beverage took up most of the budget, I was very limited in the decorations that I could get for the event. When we developed the event concept and theme, I decided to take the event in more of a whimsical, tea party feel instead of the dark side of Alice in Wonderland. Since the event is taking place in the middle of winter, I wanted to incorporate some fun colors to help brighten up the space. Here are some of the decorations that I was able to buy through my budget:
As you can see, these decorations are very whimsical and fun. I also grabbed a lot of inspiration from various places for table settings and ways to incorporate a tea party and Alice in Wonderland concept. Here are some of the things I grabbed inspiration from:
Stay tuned for my own creations for the decorations that can be found in the Event Preparation and Event Execution sections!
While the purpose of the event is to educate, we still have to consider the entertainment aspect of the event as well. Since there is limited time and space for this event, there could realistically only be limited entertainment. One of my favorite event entertainment elements to incorporate is a photo booth. This concept works for this event so well because it allows attendees to enjoy the activity on their own time schedule. An event photo booth definitely adds some fun to any event! Here are some of the props I was able to get as well as some inspiration for the booth:
Photo-booths are a great way to add a little personality and fun into the event. I saw this through my execution of this activity. Guests were able to capture memories of the night through this activity. I, personally, used the photo-booth to capture a picture with my
parents since they came to the event to support me. Executing this activity required some thought since a photo-booth is a very spatial consuming element. I had to strategically place the photo-booth to make sure there was room enough for the activity as well as not having a traffic pattern flowing through the activity. The guests ended up taking advantage of this activity towards the end of the event, after all the presentations concluded. The photo-booth definitely added some fun to the event!
Event Preparation:
"Meticulous attention to detail is the difference between a ho-hum soiree and a fabulous evening." ~ Preston Bailey
While the event preparation has really been on going, this section will go through the preparations of the days directly prior to the event. In order to ensure a smooth execution of the decoration of the space, I created various sketches of the spaces where decorations were going to take place.
After the ideas of where the decorations were going to go, and what I had to come up with, my parents were gracious enough to allow me to take over their entire kitchen and living room to make my vision come to life.
There was a limitation of decorations that I could use due to financial and spatial restrictions. I decided to focus on the table scape to really illustrate the theme. With that being said, the event preparation for the tables included smoothing out the table clothes, cutting the tulle overlay to the correct length, and creating the center pieces.
Event Execution:
"Such detail is what ultimately creates the environment, and it is from that environment that the experience of the event emerges." ~ Graham Berridge
While the event preparation was a very time consuming process, it did cut down on the set up time needed. I got to the venue at 1 PM after a final, and was setting up until 5:30 PM. While this seems like a long duration of time, to pull off an event with a little help from my mom we needed all of those 4 and a half hours to make sure my vision was what I wanted. Here are the final images of the space!
Here is a video of the tour of the venue. Unfortunately, I was too busy to grab some pictures of the event while in action.
Event Reflection:
Overall, I believe the event was very successful! While there were many limitations and restrictions financially and spatially, the usage of my resources were exhausted to achieve my appropriate vision. Decorations wise, I did not realize how time consuming the paper flowers and garland were going to be. While these decorations were a nice way to add color and a whimsical feel throughout the venue, I would definitely give myself a little more time to construct these decorations.
Along with the paper decorations, I would rethink the entry way design. There are two entrances to the event space, one where I put the entry way decorations and one through the coat room and restroom area. The previous semester, almost everyone entered through the entry way where I put the decorations, but this semester, most people entered through the coat room; therefore, they didn't even get to experience the entry way. This was an element I put a lot of thought into, since the entry way really sets the tone and expectations for the rest of the venue and event. It was very unfortunate that most people didn't get to experience the entry way as I wished. For future reference, I will analyze all entrances and exits to the venue to ensure that the vision I am striving for will not be hindered.
Another element I will always consider greatly, as well as rethink if I had to do this event again is the traffic pattern and the walkway allowance. The space I had to work with was very small to begin with. The layout that was already in the room was not conducive to the concept and purpose of the event. I wanted to allow all the guests to be able to see the presentations in a comfortable manner as well as to provide a setting that would allow a social element to the event. I thought the layout of the venue that I ended up coming with was appropriate for the concept and purpose of the event, but the walkways were a little constrained for guests to get from the food back to their seats. I would continue to think about the layout in little more depth and concentration on the walkway allowance if redoing this event.
With all things considered, I was very happy with the event from start to finish. The event was able to accommodate many guests, and was able to provide a very educational, entertaining, and social environment. I learned a lot from the process of this event, and I am looking forward to using this newfound knowledge in my future events.
Cheers to a successful event & semester!

Professor Thomas Nichols
Thomas Nichols
Professor of Neuroimaging Statistics, Nuffield Department of Population Health
Dr. Nichols is the Professor of Neuroimaging Statistics and a Wellcome Trust Senior Research Fellow in Basic Biomedical Science. He is a statistician with a solitary focus on modelling and inference methods for brain imaging research. He has a unique background, with both industrial and academic experience, and diverse training including computer science, cognitive neuroscience and statistics. After serving on the faculty of University of Michigan's Department of Biostatistics he became the Director Modelling and Genetics at GlaxoSmithKline's Clinical Imaging Centre, London. He returned to academia in 2009 moving to the University of Warwick, taking a joint position between the Department of Statistics and the Warwick Manufacturing Group. He joined the BDI in 2017.
The focus of Dr. Nichols work is developing modelling and inference methods for brain image data. He has worked with a variety of types of data, including Positron Emission Tomography and Magneto- and Electroencephalography, though most of his methods are motivated by Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and functional MRI (fMRI) in particular. He has extensive experience in modelling large, complex data, particularly known for his contributions to multiple testing inference for brain imaging. He has developed methods for clinical trials with imaging, as well as methods for integrating genetic and imaging data. His current research involves meta-analysis of neuroimaging studies and informatics tools to make data sharing easy and pervasive

Irma survivors tell tales of fear
Twelve T&T nationals who became stranded in St Maarten and the British Virgin Islands after the passage of Hurricane Irma were airlifted out of those islands yesterday.
The rescue exercise was co-ordinated by the Ministry of Foreign and Caricom Affairs and Ministry of National Security.
A release from the National Security Ministry yesterday said the Government, in conjunction with the government of Antigua and Barbuda and T&T's National Helicopter Services Limited, made arrangements to airlift nationals who had provided them with their information from St Maarten yesterday. However, the T&T Guardian was told that these nationals will be returning to Trinidad today.
An official request is also being made to the British government for assistance with respect to the evacuation of T&T nationals in the BVI, the release said.
Meanwhile, T&T nationals and other regional citizens who survived Irma's passage began arriving on flights at the Piarco International Airport last night, some of them just happy to be alive after experiencing one of the deadliest hurricanes to hit the region.
Antiguan cosmetologist Angie Skerritt said last night she was encouraged by the outpouring of love from the Antiguans to their fellow countrymen and women from sister-isle Barbuda, which was completely destroyed by Irma.
Speaking to the T&T Guardian minutes after disembarking Caribbean Airlines flight BW459 from Antigua, Skerritt thanked God that Antigua did not suffer the extent of infrastructural damage that Barbuda did.
"It was scary but it was not what we anticipated. We had very high winds but no rain. Thank God we survived," Skerritt said.
"All Antiguans came out with clothes, foodstuff and water for the people of Barbuda. They were comforted, motivated and gave love and faith and that by itself was encouraging to me," she added.
Skerritt is originally from St Vincent but now lives in Cedar Valley, Antigua. She decided to come to Trinidad on vacation for the rest of this week.
Architect Newton Charles, also of Antigua, said his Hurricane Irma experience caused much anxiety.
"Prior to the hurricane we were getting reports of the intensity of the storm, which was our first of that magnitude. I'm into building codes and our buildings are built to stand up to maximum 150 mph winds not as much as 185 mph and a Category 5," Charles said.
"I thought nothing is going to stand but we made it through. Sad state for Barbuda though."
Antiguan Nakeebah James a student here in Trinidad, said she was terrified during the hurricane's passage.
"I went home for vacation. It was frightening, but thank God I am able to return to my studies."
Meanwhile, Trinidadian Alicia Thompson was glad to be home although Dominica was spared Irma's wrath.
Returning from Dominica through Antigua and Barbuda last night on Liat flight LI309, Thompson, of San Juan, said after surviving Irma unscathed, setting foot on T&T soil had taken on a new meaning.
She said her experience of Irma was still a very scary one.
"I never looked at weather news like that when I was in Dominica before, because I wanted to know what's happening and which hurricane is going to hit," Thompson said.
She has been trying to return to Trinidad since last Friday, but only managed to get a flight out of Dominica yesterday evening. That flight went to Antigua before arriving in Trinidad.
"It was a bit fearful for me because we don't be on so much of an alert as the islands up north," she said.
A T&T national who wished not to be identified said he came in through Antigua from Jamaica and was "just lucky to escape Hurricane Irma in its entirety."

MIAMI, Florida (WBNG/WIVB) -- Concerns are growing for the western New York mother of a 22-year-old Genesee County native who was reported missing three weeks ago.
Alexis Say was last seen at a Miami hospital on Monday, January 23. Say grew up in Pembroke, New York and moved to Miami last October.
According to a report by WIVB in Buffalo, Alexis' mother Jennifer says her daughter was taken to a hospital for treatment after having a seizure. That day, she reportedly borrowed a woman's cell phone to call her mother and has not been heard from since.
According to her mother, Alexis was hooked on heroin and had been receiving treatment from a rehab facility. Someone from rehab was scheduled to pick her up from the emergency room. WIVB reports that her mother said security guards in the hospital saw her sitting in the lobby waiting for a ride, and that's the last time she was seen.
Anyone with information on Alexis's disappearance is asked to text or call (585) 545-5045. You can also visit the website helpfindalexissay.com.

Invest Saint Lucia (ISL) has joined other government agencies and private sector entities throughout the Caribbean, that have come to the aid of hurricane-ravaged Dominica.
That island was struck by Hurricane Maria – a category 5 storm – on September 18th. The storm, which left death and destruction in its wake, has set Dominica back at least two decades.
Over the last three weeks, a number of neighbouring islands including Saint Lucia, have provided immeasurable support to the island, sending in supplies of food and water. Other essential personnel, including several law enforcement officers have also taken up residence on the island to help maintain law and order.
CEO of Invest Saint Lucia, Gillray Cadet explained that the donation, which includes a financial contribution from staff as well as water and essential supplies totaling tens of thousands of dollars, is the least that ISL can do under the current circumstances.
"Our hearts go out to all the victims of the recent natural disasters in the regions. We cannot begin to imagine the trauma that our Caribbean neighbours continue to endure. We will continue to do whatever we can as a team and government agency, to help alleviate some of the discomfort that our neighbours are currently experiencing. Regarding Dominica, this gesture may not reach the thousands of Dominicans who are displaced, but we hope it will, in some measure, help to ease the dire situation in the Nature Isle."
ISL collaborated with some of its corporate partners to fill the 40-foot container with water and essential items such as non-perishable foods, hygiene and baby products, as well as two generators and inflatable water tanks.
ISL is working closely with its counterparts at Invest Dominica and Discover Dominica, whose representatives are expected to be on-hand to receive the goods once the shipment arrives.

Creating a Loving Relationship With God
By Sri Daya Mata

"When we call to God from the quiet center of the heart with simple, sincere yearning to know Him and feel His love- unfailingly we draw His response. That sweet presence of the Divine Beloved becomes our supreme Reality. It brings complete fulfillment. It transforms our lives."
In this warm and compassionate book, a beloved spiritual teacher shows how each one of us can bring a rich new intimacy to our relationship with the Divine- by weaving awareness of God into the fabric of our daily lives. The author writes:
"During my travels all over the world, so many people have asked me, 'How can I find greater meaning in my life? Is there an answer to the emptiness, the unexpressed longing, I feel within my heart? Where is the love I am missing?'

Oxytocin and breastfeeding: Elucidation of a molecular mechanism
Oxytocin is indispensable for developing the social brain. Suckling babies absorb oxytocin from mother's milk, but gut closure occurs soon after birth to prevent uptake of undesired and desired macromolecules. Researchers have found that the molecule RAGE, on the intestinal epithelium, transports oxytocin into the blood even after gut closure. This finding suggests the advantage of breastfeeding and oral oxytocin administration to increase its concentration in blood and mother-child bond.happy wheel

This paper addresses a co-simulation method for fluid power driven machinery equipment, i.e. oil hydraulic machinery. In these types of machinery, the fluid-structure interaction affects the end-product performance to a large extent, hence an efficient co-simulation method is of high importance. The proposed method is based on a 1D system model representing the fluid components of the hydraulic machinery, within which structural 3D Finite Element (FE) models can be incorporated for detailed simulation of specific sub-models or complete structural assemblies. This means that the fluid system simulation will get a more accurate structural response, and that the structural simulation will get more correct fluid loads at every time step, compared to decoupled analysis. Global system parameters such as fluid flow, performance and efficiency can be evaluated from the 1D system model simulation results. From the 3D FE-models, it is possible to evaluate displacements, stresses and strains to be used in stress analysis, fatigue evaluation, acoustic analysis, etc. The method has been implemented using two well-known simulation tools for fluid power system simulations and FE-simulations, respectively, where the interface between the tools is realised by use of the Functional Mock-up Interface standard. A simple but relevant model is used to validate the method.

... disappears pretty quickly,i have read that the nausea goes away but does the feeling of fullness remain whilst on victoza or does that disappear too ??or do the symptoms get worse as the dose is increased ? thanks
I am in the uk ,i started victoza 3 days ago,feel a bit of bloating and slight nausea which?

Responses (2)
I had the same effects when I started victoza too and the fullness feeling has gone mostly away. The nausea isn't as bad as when I stared, but still there a bit (which is why I take it before bed, so I don't have to be aware of it). When I went from 0.6 to 1.2 the nausea increased for a while, but subsided till it was only very mild. For me, if it was annoying, I took a little gravol (dramamine).
Hi thanks for your response ,i am still on 0.6 for now,but expect to be increasing next week and as you say expect the nausea to return,i have a lot of weight to lose and was hoping the full feeling would last longer than it has ,i was wondering if i stats on the larger dose and if you maybe have lost some weight with it ?? thanks
You said you have been taking Victoza for 3 days.I ,myself could not tolerate this medication.It gave me a severe headache and swelled the glands in my neck.uuuugghh :/ But I think it works great for SOME people.The other member was right.Dramamine works great for the nausea.And it should not make you drowsy.I would at least continue for a week.The side effects should lessen.And if the bloating continues after that,you should talk to your Physician.It should decrease by then.Their are other non insulin injections that you could try.Good Luck!
Thanks for reply, i am on my 5th day now and the nausea and bloating has gone also i ate normally yesterday and didnt feel the fullness i did in the beginning ,was hoping it would last a little longer actually so i wouldnt want to eat as i hve a lot of weight to lose but i am expecting it to come back as the dose increases .good luck with your future meds!
Thanks! I hope you keep losing weight and feeling better with everyday that passes! :)
I increased the Victoza... have horrible diarrhea and rotten egg burps. I quit taking it saturday a week ago... and I still am having awful diarrhea... good luck.
I went back to the Metformin 500mg. I cut them in half. Of course you can't do this with the XL. But, it has the tendency to curb appetite. I was on Byetta 5, twice a day injections for a year. Ended up in the Hospital with Ischemic Colitis. I really didn't do my homework on the side effects of this drug. Metformin does give me the unwanted side effect of diarrhea. uuuggghhh. If I cut them in half, I have better luck. And drink plenty of fluids. I have lost over 40 lbs. Hope this helped and Good Luck!

Due to the rising number of people with obesity problems, a lot of people are finding out how to lose weight the healthy way. Obesity can result in a number of health risks including heart disease, stroke, cancer, hypertensions, stroke and arthritis. If you want to curtail the ill effects of carrying extra pounds, you will need to lose weight fast. However, you must avoid all those quick weight loss methods that have no basis and were proven ineffective. These would include diet pills, dietary drinks and food supplements. In the rare instances that they work, these are just temporary and not long-lasting.
The healthy way to lose weight should provide lifetime results. The weight loss must be slow and steady and is not as drastic as other options. You will need to set a realistic expectation and be disciplined enough to follow through in the weight loss plan that you have chosen. To lose weight in a healthy way, you must never starve yourself. Going on crash diets or skipping meals are very unhealthy, though you might feel happy that you are losing some pounds at first. However, this will only be temporary since your body will not be able to tolerate having insufficient food to fuel the energy you needed on a daily basis.
Starting your day with a good and healthy breakfast is a healthy way to lose weight since this will help jumpstart your metabolism. Some doctors also recommend drinking warm water with drops of lemon juice right after you wake up to boost your immune system and your metabolism as well. Your breakfast should also include fruits, good protein from eggs, and grains for carbohydrates. You can also lose weight easily by eating five to six small servings instead of three hearty meals daily since this will keep you from overeating. You will feel full longer, and the small meals can increase your metabolism and make your body burn more calories faster.
If you want to lose weight, you must decide early on the amount of pounds you want to lose. Make it a realistic goal and one that you are willing to commit with since this also requires a healthy mindset. Stick to the weight loss plan that you have chosen and set your dieting rules. This way, you will not likely break them. You can also lose weight more effectively by having a weight loss journal where you can keep track of your daily progress by keeping tabs on the food that you have eaten, calories burned, weight loss, etc.
In order to lose weight the healthy way, you also need to drink lots of water. Aside from keeping your cells healthy and hydrated, water can also help burn fat and flush out the toxins out of your body. Avoid sugary food and read food labels in the supermarket and stay away from products that have 'ose-s' as part of their ingredients, as this means high sugar content like fructose. Eat lots of fresh fruits and vegetables that are locally grown with lean meat and protein-rich foods, while going for sweets as an indulgence only. Watching your fat intake, exercise, having enough rest; and avoiding alcohol, caffeine and nicotine are also good practices that will help you lose weight eventually.

Maroon 5 spent their weekend (06-07Dec14) gatecrashing several wedding receptions across Los Angeles to give newlyweds an unforgettable impromptu performance.
The Maps hitmakers surprised unexpecting couples on their big day by showing up to their party without notice to take to the stage, and the entire ambush was captured on camera as part of the band's upcoming music video.
Frontman Adam Levine tells Access Hollywood, "We crashed multiple weddings, actually. It was really surreal. It was so much more amazing than we originally thought it would be, because we literally showed up and played songs for these guys.
"They (newlyweds) were surprised. I'm just glad they're good memories."
Levine is a newlywed himself after tying the knot with supermodel Behati Prinsloo in July (14).

Without further ado, I present to you my VMworld 2014 schedule!

Skelos Vacated: For The Second Time This Year, Conviction Of Leading New York State Legislator Is Undone Due To McDonnell
The Second Circuit (Winter, Raggi, Hellerstein by designation) today vacated by summary order the convictions of former New York State Senate Majority Leader Dean Skelos and his son Adam Skelos. Dean and Adam Skelos were convicted of Hobbs Act conspiracy and substantive offenses, honest services wire fraud conspiracy, and federal program bribery, after a jury trial in which the government presented evidence that the elder Skelos had taken official actions to benefit certain companies in exchange for payments to his son. Much like the conviction of his fellow senior state legislator, Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver, the conviction was reversed in light of the Supreme Court's decision in McDonnell v. United States, 136 S. Ct. 2355 (2016), which narrowed the definition of an "official act." As the Court rejected the defense contention that insufficient evidence supported the convictions, both Skelos and his son will be retried by the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York. Like the Silver reversal, this ruling reflects the ways in which the McDonnell decision has complicated that office's investigation and prosecution of public corruption in New York state government.
Second Circuit Affirms Honest Services Fraud Conviction Amidst Doubt About The Future Viability Of Honest Services Fraud
Does the act of paying money to a party official to allow a candidate merely to run for public office constitute bribery? And does a party official owe a "fiduciary duty" to his party to open its ticket to candidates from opposing parties only sparingly, such that an exchange of money for a place on the party ticket supports a conviction under the honest services fraud statute (18 U.S.C. § 1346)?


text: Hi Guys. When You launch a backup from a hardrive does it run normally at 6x and if you boot a backup from a disc it runs at 3x? Because loding is faster on a hardrive and gameplay is normal but on a disc loading is longer but gameplay is the same as the hardrive. So loading from the disc and a hardrive are the same except for loading times and gameplay is the exact same?

Interesting, this issue should be correctly solved since version 3.24.3 and because no one since then complain on this issue, I considered it as correctly solved.May you please write me exact steps you do since begin, since download of cache etc? I needs to simulate this issue. And you have a basic membership on geocaching.com web site right?
Good day guys,sorry for a delay.Issue found and ... not directly fixed, but at least improved. For now, you may disable in geocaching settings > auto-loading of images option : change it to something other then "image downloading".In next version, this will be improved and value "image caching" will be automatically used instead for listings of basic members. Damn stupid limitations for basic members!Thanks for bug report and sorry for a complications.

Whether you want to find out if you need a new bed or you want to find the best bed for you - our Sleepgrader will support you!
Latest News
As I had pointed out in one of my previous blogs about the sleep pyramid, good sleep quality is not just about mattresses and bed rooms - nutrition is also an important element when it comes to perfect sleep. Needless to mention that you should not consume well known sleepkillers such as coffee, alcohol or heavy food less than 2-3 hours before going to bed. What might be new for you: There is even food that may help to improve your sleep - and unlike most healthy things it's even tasting fine!
Looking beyond the next borders means from the perspective of your bed that you should once reflect, if your sleep environment (which is your bedroom) is good enough to support deep and undisturbed sleep - or not. There are a few points to consider and possibly to improve to make your sleep paradise come true. Too low temperature in a bedroom is flagging cold environment and your body starts to heat up!
Many products which seem to be very exciting at first sight also have a less attractive side which remains often undetected because manufacturers do not talk about it. So do also Memory-Foam mattresses which have been promoted strongly during many years (and still are) by one of the leading mattress producers and by many smaller manufacturers who tried to capture a part of that market. You might be familiar with the story about the NASA development and the tale about ultimate comfort which associates a weightless feeling, almost like flying. There is more to know if you want to recognize the full scope of this material which has its benefits without doubt, but, as said before, also its disadvantages. MemoryFoam is chemically treated with the target to lose its resilience completely. The result is a foam that after being compressed is hardly "pushing back" and so it seems to memorize the shape of the object that has caused the said compression. This lack of resilience provides a feeling of total pressure relief which is perceived as very comfortable by many consumers at first sight. The disadvantages are very often recognized later at home.
Making a power nap (or not) is more a matter of cultural mind set than of individual attitude. In some countries in Asia you will meet people literally everywhere sleeping in positions you would not imagine. Unfortunately, in the Western World sleeping during daytime is still as a sign of weakness and lack of discipline. It's so bizarre since a nap of 20 minutes makes you stronger instantly and it has a sustainable ipopwempact on your vitality.
